The following table describes the attributes used by the Box Flow Test modules.

Table 1. Box Flow Test Attributes

Name

Type 1

Description

Default Value

Damper Percent Cmd

 

Contains the current value for the command being sent to the damper output. This does not reflect any user-overrides of the actual damper output object or any problems with the actuator.

0.0%

dP Offset Tolerance

 

Percentage above which the absolute value of the Percent dP Offset is considered to be out of normal range.

10.0%

Eff Stroke Time

 

Contains the time (in seconds) that it takes the actuator to go from fully closed to fully open as well as the time from fully open to fully closed. If the open and close stroke times are unequal, this input should be set to the maximum of the two values.

0.0 Seconds

Results Summary

 

Contains a byte of which each bit represents the status of each of the eight possible results evaluated during data analysis at the end of the test.

Set Name: Box Flow Test Results

Flow

 

Contains the current amount of airflow as measured by the VAV box flow pickup.

0.0 l/s, 0.0 cfm

Flow Data

 

Raw position and flow pairs collected during the test.

 

Flow Tolerance

 

Contains the percentage of the Rated Box Flow used for analyzing the test data.

10.0%

Percent dP Offset

 

Contains the current value for the zero offset of the differential pressure input expressed as a percentage of the sensor range.

0.0%

Rated Box Flow

 

Flow of the box under nominal conditions when the damper is 100% open.

0.0 l/s, 0.0 cfm

Settling Time

 

Contains the time over which the module averages the flow reading at each data point. This is done because the sensed flow is typically a noisy signal and is not filtered.

10.0 Seconds

State

G, V

Contains the current operational mode for the module. State is set equal to Box Flow Test when a test is active; otherwise it is Normal.

Set Name: Normal/Box Flow Test

Step Position

V, SC

Specifies the position, when a box flow test is active, to which the damper should be commanded.

0.0%

Test Status

SC

Displays a simple summary of the status of the current or most recent test.

No Test Data

Set Name: Box Flow Test

Status

Errors during test, No Test Data, Test Cancelled, Test Complete Normal, Test In Progress, Test Started

Test Step

SC

Current step of the active test or the last step completed of the most recent test.

 
1 C - Configuration Mode Only, G - Default Element (Generated State, if applicable), SC - Simulation and Commissioning Modes Only, V - Calculated Value (Outputs)
